Typhoons on British Columbia ? Sorry, but possible

Hurricane Season in British Columbia !?

A direct consequence of the changing climate is the first hurricane observed in the North Pacific Ocean in November 1^st, 2006 (see picture below taken from satellite MODIS). The September 2006 to January 2007 weather patterns over British Columbia and NW USA brought fierce wind storms (one of them destroyed hundreds of trees at Stanley Park, Vancouver) accompanied by records of precipitation:  In other words, it could be a precursor to an actual  HURRICANE SEASON.

So, this year WATCH OUT ! It may be worse !                   April, 2007
